One increasingly popular way to use corrugated metal inside or around your home is to install a corrugated metal ceiling. The number of color options that you have allows these roofs to be either a key accent feature of the room or blend in more to enhance the overall aesthetic.
Let’s go over some of the best ways to incorporate some corrugated metal ceiling ideas into your home design.
Corrugated metal has a rounded, wavy appearance that you probably associate with barns or agricultural buildings found in the countryside. If you’re designing a modern farmhouse or a mountain home, using corrugated metal on ceilings is a great addition to your home’s rustic aesthetic.
The specific farmhouse style always has a wood element to it. The unique texture of corrugated metal gives off an eye-catching contrast when paired with wood. A corrugated metal ceiling adds to the desired rustic feel of this type of interior design.
It’s common to see red and white corrugated metal used in farmhouse designs. You can also use a galvanized corrugated ceiling for a traditional metal look.
Industrial design, also known as industrial chic, purposefully has an unfinished look that is both raw and modern. You can further accent this look with a corrugated metal ceiling. This style is gaining popularity in both commercial settings like bars and restaurants and residential spaces such as lofts.
This design style is another example where a painted corrugated metal ceiling visually pops against the other materials commonly seen in these spaces such as brick and wood. A corrugated metal ceiling adds an extra edge to this modern look.
You may not have given much thought to the style of the ceiling in your garage, but it’s actually a great place to incorporate corrugated metal panels into your design.
Aside from a design perspective, it can also be useful in a garage that will also be used as a workspace. A lighter metal ceiling can brighten up a dark garage making it easier to see when working on projects.
A new metal ceiling is ideal if your garage has open rafters. This is because a corrugated ceiling in these garages will help with insulation by keeping heat in during the winter making your garage less drafty and more comfortable to be in.
Another potentially overlooked spot for an added design element is your basement. If you have a finished basement, a corrugated metal ceiling in a light color will brighten the space. It adds an interesting style element that can easily become the focal point of the room.
Your porch is a great opportunity to show some style before anyone even steps foot in your home. A corrugated ceiling for your porch is an easy way to dress up your outdoor space.
Since corrugated metal comes in almost every color and shade you can think of, you can even use corrugated metal to get in on the popular blue porch ceiling trend.
Corrugated panels for a ceiling cost roughly $1.00 to $3.00 per square foot for materials. Below is a price breakdown based on the gauge and paint finish you choose for your corrugated panels.
